Sunday Puzzle: That’s HANDY

On-air challenge

Today I’ve brought a game of Categories based on the word HANDY. For each category I give, you tell me something in it starting with each of the letters H-A-N-D-Y. For example, if the category were “Two-Syllable Girls’ Names,” you might say Heather, Audrey, Nancy, Denise, and Yvette. Any answer that works is OK, and you can give answers in any order.

1. Languages

2. Streaming Services

3. Types and Breeds of Dogs

4. Colleges and Universities whose names aren’t geographical
